Some 52 year old guy is planning to swim the Amazon...some 3500 miles...from where it begins all the way to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean...with nothing but a wet suit and some cream to prevent that little fish from swimming up his urethra. Among other things for concern: piranhas, crocodiles, poisonous snakes, insects, blood sucking leeches, and sharks (that swim up the river). To keep the sharks and piranhas away from him, they will dump buckets of blood in the river around him...evidently distracting the bad guys. I’m not sure this is such a good thing to do...the actual Amazon swim, or the buckets of blood thing.
For anyone wanting to do stupid things for attention, money, or charity...here’s a short list you may want to consider for your next “stunt”.
1. Walk through Compton at 2:00 am dressed in a KKK outfit.
2. Cover your body in wasp pheromones in July and walk anywhere in the San Joaquin Valley.
3. Dress up like a baby lamb and jump on stage at a Seigfried and Roy show.
4. Wear a pheasant costume and go on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney.
5. Stick a Black Mamba in your shorts and do the “moonwalk dance”.
6. Tell Rosie O’Donnell you admire Donald Trump.
7. Tell Donald Trump you admire Rosie O’Donnell.
8. Audition for American Idol in Seattle (or anywhere).
9. Audition for the next Jackass movie.
10. Stand up at a Star Wars convention and say any one of the following:
**The “force” sucks.
**Han Solo was gay.
**General Grievous was my role model.
**You guys smell like bantha doo doo.
**Jar Jar Binks was a good idea.
**The Star Wars Saga should’ve ended with Return of the Jedi!
**Princess Leia was not a babe!
Make sure you have a “reality show” camera crew on hand at any one of these “stunts”. Your widow will make a bundle on DVD sales.
